COFFEE-POT.

To all whom it may concern:

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in coffee and teapots and more particularly to that class which are provided with movablestrainers, the main object of the present invention being the provisionof a coffee ortea pot having astra'iner movably mounted therein wherebythe same can be moved toward or away from the spout so that the spoutand strainer can be readily separated when it is desired to clean thesame.

Another object of the present invention is the provision of a device ofthe above character which will possess advantages in points ofeiiiciency and durability, is inexpensive to manufacture and, at thesame time, is simple in construction and operation.

Vith the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in thenovel features of construction, combination and arrange ment of parts aswill be hereinafter referred to and more particularly pointed out in thespecification and claim.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application, Figure 1is a detail transverse sectional view of a coffee pot illustrating myimproved strainer applied thereto. view; and Fig. 3 is an elevation of astrainer plate.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, 1 indicates the body of thecoffee pot and 2 the spout thereof. The body of the coffee pot isprovided upon one side thereof opposite the spout 2 with a handle 3 andis further provided with a hinged top 1. Secured to the inner side ofthe coffee pot at a point opposite the spout is an angular plate 5having an upstanding hook 6 carried thereby and removably mounted uponthis hook is an arm 7, the inner end ofwhichis provided with a slot 8,so that the same mav be readily engaged over the hook 6 and thendisposed at right angles to the same to prevent the arm from beingdisen-- gaged from the hook. Pivotally connected Specification ofLetters Patent.

arm 9 to which is connected a strainer Plate 10. This strainer plate is-preferablyofthe same. size and shape as the opening between the spoutand the bcdy'of the coffee pot so that when the plate is placed inposition, it will entirely cover the opening. This plate 10 is providedat its upper edge with a beading 11 which is adapted to correspond withthe beading around the upper edge of the body of the coffee pot. Thebeading 11 em braces a conventional reinforcing wire whichlslndependentof the conventional reinforcing wire which is employed inconnection with the upper marginal portion of the body 1. Thisarrangement, however, forms no particular part of my invention as hereindisclosed. As shownin Fig. 1, the plate 10 is arranged in itseffectiveposition and the arms 7 and 9 are extended horizontally so as to providea uitable brace between the plate 10 and the opposite side of the bodyof the coffee pot. movement of the arms 7 and 9 in one direction, thearm 9 provided at its inner end with an overturned angular flange 12,which 7 engages over the upper edge of the inner end of the arm 7 tolimit the downward pivotal movement of the arms. From this it will beapparent that when it is desired to cleanse the spout 2 and the plate10, the in ner connected ends of the arms 7 and 9 are pulled u-pwardlvto a position illustrated by dotted lines inFig. 1.- It will beunderderstood, however, that the plate 10 can be readilv swung upwardlythrough the top of the coffee pot, as"the arm 7 is loosely con,- nectedto the hook 6. Furthermore the arm ,7 may be readily disengaged from thehook 6 by moving the same to a vertical position In order to limit thepivotal.

so that the slot 8 will be disposed in the same plane as the hook 6.Furthermore it will be noted that the downward swinging movement of theconnected ends of the arms 7 and 9 is limited by the over-hangingangular flange 12. From this it will be apparent that I have provided asimple and durable device wherein the strainer plate 10 is removablyapplied to the opening formed be: tween the body of'the coffee pot andthe spout 2, so that it may be quickly and readily removed when it isdesired to cleanse the spout or the strainer plate. The device as'awhole is one that can be manufactured and placed upon the market at acompara= tively low cost. 7

While I have shown and described the preferred form of my invention, itwill be appended claim. 7 Having, thus, described: this invention,
